Today, I cut and pruned and designed my 25th bouquet from my Zinna raised bed garden, the first-ever for me. I loved the experience and am already preparing for next year.

I gave the 25th bouquet to Maria, but she brought it to my office, pointing out my own bouquet from two weeks ago was dead. So there it sits. At first, I thought it was going to Maria’s studio, so the photograph is of the bouquet and two of her favorite succulents.

I added a color photo for those who need to see flowers in color. I understand.
